More than just an inverter, the JH-3500U is a versatile power conditioner
engineered to blend energy from up to three input strings, each varying by
number, model, and angle of modules. Now architects and installers can
design systems that meet exact power requirements while creating a clean,
professional look on the roof. Plus, with its active cooling and ultra-high
efficiency, Sharp’s inverter maintains stable power output even in extreme
temperatures. Perfectly matched to Sharp modules and mounting hardware,
the JH-3500U is also compatible with many other manufacturers’ systems, and
is ideal for both residential and commercial applications. With over 60,000 units
in the field, the Sharp Sunvista has proven to be among the most dependable
and flexible inverters in the world.
